suki's pages for Bab's and Lynne's Girlfriend's books

This is for Babs. I had a lot of trouble with this page as I wanted it to be a painting. But that didn't work out. Finally I tore some painted canvas into pieces and this collage kind of fell into place. Acrylic painted canvas, lace, painted twigs, handmade bead and "pearls,", mounted on bristol board.Lynn liked the page I had done for Karen C. so I used a similar idea and theme here. This is called "Threads." Dressmaker's tissue, cloth, threads, needle threader, fake pearls, glitter, gold marker. I won't mail these books to Karen C. until after New Years per her request.

I love both of these pages each in it's own way. Mine of course sings to me and my love of threads and fabrics and things sewing. I appreciate your thoughtfulness to each of our likes and interests in creating our pages. Will wait patiently for the book to get to me so I can touch the textures here and see the sparkle close up.Thank you Suki!

Wonderful pages!Isn't your landlord your brother?He should be ashamed.Who ever he is he is a jerk and you have every right to be angry.I am angry for you!But stay calm, pay the money because it is too much to look for a house in the Winter. He will get his in the end.Love and hugs.

Great pages Suki!I love twigs(!) and I'm glad to have some from your area on my page, thanks!By this time next year, you'll have new things from your new area,,and we'll all celebrate with you!Hang in,,,,

Suki, after reading your last few months of blogs, I fear Annie is right and that your "landlord" is a family member. How shameful....my rent is going up next month and I have been out of work for 8 months - but my landlord is just that....not a kinsman.

Stay strong and let the anger go....he is not worth it.

Love your latest "Girlfriend Book" pages.... did you see the rest of "un Coeur en Hiver"?

lilacrobin, I did see the end of the movie last night and it was very sad. Humans are so amazing and the French are very good at "getting" subtle emotions onto the screen. i loved seeing the young Emmanuel B. i have only just discovered her.

To all who wonder, yes my landlord is my brother. Yes, I need to pay of course for some of the expenses here, but personally I think he's charging too much. I actually have two different friends who each own two houses and both of them have let non-relatives live in their second house for free! I guess that is pretty unusual though. My thought is the bro will be away for the winter anywya and my presence here would protect the house and keep it unfrozen so why isnt HE paying ME to take care of the house and house sit???

Suki, I am sorry I know he is your brother and I am so angry at him I could spit. My brothers would NEVER charge me for rent if I lived in their house unless they were very deperate. And he does this now in the middle of Winter, during the holidays! Plus that house should be half yours anyway.Come Spring I would get out of there, and I personally would never speak to the man again.There I vented, You must be red with anger! Big hugs!xoxo

Thanks Annie and Robin. Part of my anger of course is for/about myself and the fact that i havent yet made a move/commitment to a new place. My own procrastination and reluctance or whatever it is. Ah well. Anger must be dissipated because the only person it messes up is myself and it does not promote peace either within me or without.

Oh, Suki, I really like both these pages. I'll get them posted right away. I guess I missed the part about the raised rent. I've been so busy. Sorry to hear that. Nasty landlord! Hope you can have a happy holiday in spite of that.
